Opened in 1993, Big Cats of Serenity Springs is home to well over 120 big cats, including lions, tigers, ligers, cougars, leopards and servals. We are the largest State and Federal licensed placement facility in Colorado, located east of Colorado Springs.

Over the years, with dedication and determination, we've become Colorado's premiere big cat facility. We are proud to be the only facility in the entire state (including government funded zoological parks!) to have qualified for and be granted, a state of Colorado Zoological License.

It is with great joy that we provide care, love, and compassion to the "exotic" cats in our care and we want to share that joy with you. Click here to see all of the opportunities we offer for you to spend time with us and these majestic animals.

A sanctuary of this size cannot survive without your help. YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE. We have several ways for you to directly impact the lives of the cats that call Big Cats of Serenity Springs home, including volunteer and donation opportunities. Click here now to make a donation.
